<p>So Wifey and Son say they are going to clear up some to-dos, including accepting the complete financial aid PKG. This includes the 2 small Federal loans, 1 w/ subsidized interest and the other not. Anyway, I walk away to do Sunday errands like water the grass and mail bills, he walks away, and she proceeds to apply for the loans in her name using her SS#. I swear to G*d I'm going to pull my hair out. I get a bad bloody nose and sit for 30min on the front stoop trying to stop it and lower my blood pressure and then she says she's gonna take off for a couple days to visit friends and there's no big deal - she sent someone an email. Hopefully she will actually call ppl today and expunge her mistake and the 2 of them will correct this and get these 2 loans taken care of. Today. </p>
<p>Has anyone else made this mistake?</p>
<p>
No; however, I don’t think her acceptances are going anywhere. Ask your son to accept the loans.</p>
<p>I don’t think you have much to worry about. Your wife’s application cannot be processed because SHE is not a college student. </p>
<p>Have your SON do the loans!</p>
<p>Did she apply for Plus?</p>
<p>She says she cleared it up. Her mistake did not go through. Waiting for a new PIN in my son’s name. Then she can do the loans in my son’s name. We’re talking about the “Direct Stafford Loan” 1/2 has subsidized interest. She says it is actually just 1 loan even though the interest is subsidized on half. I thought it was 2 separate loans … for the 1st year these are the only loans we’ll (he’ll) need. </p>
<p>A NEW Pin for your son? Why would you need a new one? You use the same PIN that your son used to sign his FAFSA.</p>
<p>And my opinion…your son should be completing these documents. Certainly, you or your wife can assist him…but his PIN is HIS signature on the forms. </p>
<p>hmmm, yeah she said “her” PIN was the one she used for our FAFSA … she said she talked to someone … hmmm, then proceeded to criticize me for checking up on her. they were working on it together when I left them to it, when I got back the deed was done. and now has to be redone when the new PIN arrives by email …</p>
<p>So your role is head tongue clucker, finger wagger and bloody nose drama queen? Unless you are helping, it sounds like you need to get out of the way.</p>
<p>When your son completed a FAFSA TWO PIN numbers were required. One was for your son. The second was for a parent (either parent can get a PIN to sign that THEIR financial info is accurately reported).</p>
<p>When your son completes the Master Promissory Note for his Direct Loan, he uses HIS pin only. Your wife’s PIN is not used at all for that.</p>
<p>Your son should already HAVE a PIN from completing his FAFSA. Where is that PIN? </p>
<p>OK, thanks I’ll pass that on!</p>
